Coach B said girls can drain you. Before the game, for a few days, he said
stay away from them. Keep your head on the game, he said. I used to meet
Sue at the 7 Eleven in Mountainside. She wasn't my girlfriend so it really wasn't
against Coach B's rules. We stood on either side of the comic kiosk and spun
it back and forth. I liked Silver Surfer, she liked Spiderman. In the buggy
florescent light outside she smoked cigarettes and told me about her
boyfriends. We pretended we were friends, that I was just listening, but we
always ended up kissing in a group of beeches a block from the store. I used
to put my hand on her breast and let it rest there, afraid to go further, afraid I
wouldn't keep my head in the game. Her nipples, though, felt like buttons to
some place I wanted to go.
